This is a funny one. And it shows a bug in the module.

The problem is the line in the handler that creates the element using paste. It creates a new twig, and messes up the options on the "main" one.

So the workaround is to replace that line with this:

$elt= XML::Twig->parse( keep_encoding=>1, qq(<p>test</p>) )->root->cut;

This way keep_encoding is preserved and you get the result you want

,p>Then I have to fix this in the module, and hopefully in the next version your code will run as-is (you should really write XML::Twig::Elt->parse instead of using the indirect object syntax though).

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
